In this powerful episode of The Real Deal with Neil Clements, firefighter and land investor Jon Newth opens up about one of the most honest journeys I’ve heard in our space. He crushed it in 2024, nearly $200K in profit from land deals, appeared on the REtipster channel, built momentum… then 2025 hit like a freight train. Market shifted hard; scaling attempt backfired; team let go; ~$100K spent with little to show. Jon shares the mental lows, the confidence hit, why he almost quit, what pulled him back (coaching + masterminds), and exactly what he and Travis King are doing now: fewer but bigger subdivides + targeted double closes via cold calling. If you’ve ever felt stuck, lost momentum, or wondered if the land game “still works,” this raw conversation is for you. #landinvesting #landflipping #realestateinvesting #subdividingland #landbusiness #passiveincome #sidehustle #realestatesuccess #landdeals #investingmindset #entrepreneurship #realestatestories #landinvestor #doubleclose #coldcalling *📊 Manage Land Deals Like a Pro with Stride CRM* https://go.retipster.com/stride/yt-kYZ9JGCejSY *Land Portal: The Data Edge Every Land Investor Needs* https://go.retipster.com/landportal/yt-kYZ9JGCejSY (REtipster Affiliate Link) *🙋🏻‍♂️ Get the REtipster Newsletter (It's FREE)!* https://welcome.retipster.com/newsletter/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=kYZ9JGCejSY *🚀 Land Investor’s Action Plan (Free 5-Day Course!)* https://welcome.retipster.com/5-day-email-course/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=kYZ9JGCejSY *⚠️ Land Buyer’s Survival Guide (Free 5-Day Course!)* https://welcome.retipster.com/survival-guide/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=kYZ9JGCejSY *👉 10X Your Income from Land Investing* https://welcome.retipster.com/webinar-invite/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=kYZ9JGCejSY *😀 Join the REtipster Forum!* https://forum.retipster.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=kYZ9JGCejSY *🛠️ All My Favorite Tools and Resources 🛠️* https://retipster.com/resources/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=kYZ9JGCejSY
